I like how you link self confidence to being tuned in to other people. I think the key difference between the positivity of self confidence and the negativity of sheer arrogance is being in relationship w/others, vs. only thinking about yourself.

Thanks for this great post, I agree with all the points you make. One thing, I think it’s also a sign of self-confidence if you can openly acknowledge areas you struggle with. What are your thoughts on this?

I agree with all these specially number 3. I tend to be generous when it comes to complimenting people – like whenever I like their outfit or they did a great job on a project. Some doesn’t enjoy it and feel insecure – like they’re going to be outdone by the other.

This is such a great post and i do struggle with mental health and it does affect my confidence . I try hard to stay positive but these tips are a wonderful outline to building that self love and confidence 🙂

Loved this list, especially how confident people don’t let toxicity enter. You brought up points that I wouldn’t think of initially with confidence, but I totally agree with them. Great post and reminders…Sometimes these are easier said than done, but always worth it!

I agree that confident people earn so much more in life (and I’m not referring to money). It’s hard to build up yourself to get to that point of self confidence that you are talking about in this post, but once you do, the world can be yours.

Self-confidence is such a powerful trait to have. We’re naturally happier people and naturally draw in others like us and repel the negative nancies of the world b/c they just can’t handle it. Which is fine. They’re triggered for a reason, maybe one day they’ll come back around after the go on their own personal journey.
